That body is about to be publicly ID'ed in a press conference later, and it appears you may have clocked it 2 years ahead of investigators

Wow, well all I apparently did was use NamUs to look for John Does that fit his statistics within the same state where he went missing. I know Florida has many missing people and Does, though. So less obvious matches may not be prioritized for DNA testing, etc.

I know it can also take a year or two+ to confirm a possible match once the process is started. Maybe this one had already been in progress for a few years.

Sincere condolences to Jacob's family. I can tell he was a great young man and it's saddening and unfair that he is gone so young.

May Jacob's family be surrounded by loving people and much support.
